The Manhattan DA's office, formerly headed by Cy Vance, has been investigating the Trump Org. for alleged fraudulent business practices, but two of its top prosecutors suddenly resigned. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/02/23/nyregion/trump-ny-fraud-investigation.html This is concerning because the US attorney for SDNY, the federal prosecutor, isn't involved in a Trump investigation. However, another investigation by Letitia James, the NY State AG, is ongoing and is related to tax evasion.
